That could be a good idea. If we used the txview342 program we can generate
contact sheets for all textures, then select the ones we wish to submit for
inclusion, and generate contact sheets for those.
You can always e-mail me the files as well, and let me do the dirty work.
BTW your modified shapes.inc and macros would be good to post. Anything that
improves povray should be included.
I'm trying to convert some c++ gaussian/other rand code to povray as well.
That is rather difficult thought do to the fact we don't have datatypes and
proper for/do loops. :-(

Hey, throw those into the mix as well. Anything that helps, helps. :-)

Given that the .inc and sample scene files are covered under the
povlegal.doc, I doubt that source forge will approve my project for hosting
there, but I tried anyway and sent them a copy of the doc.
If they do not approve it, I will probably setup some kind of hosting on my
website.
I will probably give out usernames and passwords to people who wish to
contribute, and have their submissions go into an XML file within a CDATA
block. I will probably not support image upload, but I might. Hopefully
sourceforge will be cool and approve the project because I really don't feel
like setting up all that crap unless I really have to. ;-D

Are the rand.inc macros *that* bad?

I think that is where I erred in my (faulty) memory... My excuses for the
confusion.

Hmm....so it appears that it already HAS gaussian rand...lol....less I have

Yup...sourceforge didn't like the POV terms...oh well...screw them then. ;-p
I guess for now just either post to PBI or e-mail me whatever you guys come
up with for textures..

One thing that *might* come in handy would be a set of complementary functions
to compute the distribution density.

Since you are touching up the include files it probably would be best just
to
mark them as LGPL to be licence compatible in the future?

THe only problem with that is that those files are covered under the
povlegal.doc and so I can't just go switching licenses on the POV
team....I'd have to get their permission to do something like that. I was
actually suprised to read in the doc that we can't even use sample scenes to
create derivative works! So I guess technically I need to get permission
from the pov team to even do what I'm currently doing. :-|
